Note Submitter: netgert at hotmail dot com ---- I want to note that fwrite() is binary-safe with strings only - you cannot write binary data with it (ie 32-bit integers, 1 (d)word etc) Trying to fwrite() an int will cause the int to be converted into string and then written as string. The same goes with floats I find this behaviour appalling - data should be of mixed type and no type-casting should occur
